CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 72: SHOCKED—IS THE ONE SEDUCING HIS SON ACTUALLY SUMMER NOLAN?!

"No need, if your employees see, they might think I’m trying to take over." Summer said.

Ian Sterling laughed, didn’t insist, and returned to his domineering desk, occasionally glancing at her—he thought she came in to chat for a bit.

But once she came in, she focused on her work.

He couldn’t bear to disturb her.

Watching her seriously working, she looked quite enchanting.

Summer had just sat there for half an hour when the office door suddenly swung open with a bang: "Crack!"

They both looked towards the door and saw it was that little girl from last time—

"Who allowed you to barge in? Don’t you have any manners?" Ian Sterling glared at her and reprimanded.

Yara Grant rolled her eyes at him, crossing her arms as she walked straight to the woman’s side, scoffing,

"So you’re an employee here? Ha, don’t you know your own worth, and yet you try to seduce my fiancé?"

"I warned you last time, but I didn’t expect you to be so shameless! Such a bitch, what’s your name?"

Summer put down her things, smiled as she stood up, walked over to Yara, and without giving anyone face, suddenly slapped her across the face:

"Slap—!"

Ian Sterling looked at Summer, surprised; he was about to rush over to kick the girl out, he didn’t expect Summer to be so straightforward.

Yara Grant held her burning cheek, eyes wide, panting, hardly believing it,

"You, you actually dared to hit me? Do you know who I am?!"

"I don’t care who you are, but this lady’s mouth should be more civilized." Summer warned her coldly.

"You’re just a lowly employee, and you dare talk to me like that? Looks like you’re looking for a beating!"

Yara Grant was driven mad with anger, no one had ever dared to treat her like this before, she raised her hand to hit back.

But Summer easily grabbed her wrist, slapped her face again, and then pushed her forcefully away.

Yara was struck dizzy by her, staggering before she fell embarrassingly to the ground.

Ian Sterling smiled at Summer’s dominance, he was worried she would be aggrieved, turned out the one being aggrieved was that little girl!

Summer walked over, crouched down, pinched the girl’s cheek,

"Watch your words in future. If you curse again, for every word you utter, I’ll slap you until you’re subdued, got it?"

Yara Grant glared at her with tear-filled, resentful eyes, wanting to curse but not daring to; she had never been so humiliated—

She waved away Summer’s hand, looked at the man standing nearby, and started crying pitifully,

"Brother Ian, I’ve been beaten like this, won’t you say something to her? She’s clearly a vicious, ruthless woman!"

"You brought this on yourself, you’re lucky it was her you met; if it were someone worse and you insulted them like this, you’d have it worse, consider this a lesson." Ian Sterling, hands behind his back, looked at her seriously and said.

Yara Grant couldn’t believe he said that, her nose twisted in anger, just then a middle-aged man entered the doorway with a powerful presence.

It was Sean Sterling.

Yara’s lips curled slightly; after receiving a message from a stranger, she immediately informed Uncle Sterling.

"Uncle, you must stand up for me, look at how your company’s small employee has beaten me."

As she said this, she raised her face marked with fingerprints, complaining tearfully.

Sean Sterling didn’t bother with the little girl, eagerly looking at the woman daring to seduce his son—

Stunned.

It was Summer?!

His face immediately sank deeper; from the first moment seeing her, he inexplicably disliked her.

Ian Sterling glanced at his father, worried he’d trouble Summer.

Summer calmly stood up, fearlessly looked straight at the powerful Sean Sterling,

"Chairman Sterling should know it takes two to tango, you can ask why I hit her."

"So Attorney Nolan likes my son?" Sean Sterling, hands behind his back, merely asked her this.

To promote the family, his only son was destined to marry into a powerful clan.

He wouldn’t allow his son to date a common girlfriend!

"What gives Chairman Sterling reason to think that?" she raised an eyebrow, retorting.

Sean Sterling won’t stop due to a single sentence, intent on embarrassing her:

"Some words may be harsh, but I have to say them. With your background, Attorney Nolan, you aren’t fit for the Sterling Family, nor qualified to marry in, I hope you don’t waste efforts and stay away from my son."

Ian Sterling was about to speak for her, when Summer smiled lightly and spoke first,

"I’m known for being somewhat rebellious, and Mr. Sterling and I are only friends, don’t provoke me, Chairman Sterling."

Sean Sterling’s old face grew somber; she certainly upheld her reputation as a lawyer, sharp-tongued, ordinary folk dared not even look him in the eye, let alone disrespect him!

Ian Sterling suddenly admired Summer even more, didn’t expect her so bold—dares to face off with his father!

"..." Yara Grant, still on the ground, was also shocked, could this woman be so courageous?

"Mr. Sterling, let’s have someone put the materials back in the meeting room later." Summer said to him before walking out.

"This woman is quite cunning, don’t keep too close to her, also, be on your guard." Sean Sterling warned his son coldly.

If she weren’t handling the Summit acquisition, he would’ve had someone teach her a lesson already.

"Even if she’s cunning, she wouldn’t target others without reason, and we are friends, it’s impossible to not be close." Ian Sterling said seriously.

"You..." Sean Sterling, angered first by the woman and now by his son, clenched his fists tightly, barely restraining himself—

How to prevent them from being together?

His gaze suddenly settled on the Grant girl now standing up, making use of her, he said deeply, "Ian is your fiancé, keep a close eye on him."

"Yes, Uncle..." Yara Grant was ecstatic her uncle acknowledged her.

Summer entered the meeting room, Elias Spencer raised his eyes and glanced over, the corners of his lips slightly curled:

"Isn’t Attorney Nolan in Ian Sterling’s office? Why return so soon?"

"Mind your own business!"

She huffed, sitting in her seat, how did that girl know she was in Ian Sterling’s office?

Didn’t seem surprised at all.

"..." Elias Spencer looked at her, the corners of his lips curling into a deeper mischievous smile.

Click—

The meeting room door opened, two secretaries returned the materials, Elias Spencer leaned back, smiling, purposely asking:

"Weren’t they just moved? Why brought back so soon?"

"Well... we’re not sure either, Mr. Sterling told us to bring them back," one secretary glanced at Summer, did she try to pursue Mr. Sterling and get rejected?

Or did Chairman Sterling just send her back? Quite embarrassing.

Summer glared at the man opposite, both annoyed and embarrassed, is this man deliberately trying to embarrass me?

So frustrating, argh!
